Good to hear that it’ll be rescued. Hope you have good fortune sourcing the parts. I’ve done the same for a Seamaster from the ‘60’s and found a donor movement from which I could salvage parts for my watchmaker. It had a strong family history so the cost wasn’t important. The fact that it lives onward is the reward. Come back and share the “then & now” project along the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Insured? If so it should pay for the damage.
I would send it off to Omega personally. |

I have many watches insured... not this one unfortunately. I’m a little reluctant to send it to Omega directly (scared of what that bill will look like for a total overhaul). Anybody have an independent watchmaker that works with Omega parts that might be willing to take this on??? I’m all ears. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That was painful. Sorry this happened. I'm sure your brother feels bad as well.
I would just buy another Speedy. Personally I don't think it's worth a rebuild. |

Thankfully I did not lend out my Speedy Pro (3572.50), so I have this to satisfy my speedy needs while I contemplate my next move. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wow, what a shame.
I'd be looking for a new reduced speedy and speedy reduction in my bother.

"It adds character..."
JK, sorry to see this OP. Those pics are tough to look at. |
